About the author:

Laurent was born in Madrid, Spain, on Oct. 10 of 1955, and raised in Puerto Rico. He now spends most of his time in MD, USA.

By age 8, Laurent was already wondering about why would a cup stick to his face as he tried to suck the air out. Later, he learned about magnetism, gravity and inertia as he continued to wonder if, besides atmospheric pressure, there was some unknown force at work. He remembers making needles stand up without touching them by using a magnet, then wondering how could that be. After learning about the EPR experiments he started inquiring about oneness and how everything seemed to be connected.

By age 21, Laurent had already learned about Nature’s abhorrence for the void and fragmentation, and that, as they researched vehicle re-entry physics, NASA had carried out experiments where they were immersing a bullet shaped object (one foot in diameter) in water, accelerating it to supersonic speeds, causing this projectile to unexpectedly pull a body of water attached to its rear, never allowing for the formation of a void and contrary to what the theory predicts. Same as Timothy Boyer’s imaginary piston, if you were to pull it under high acceleration, the force resisting you would be greater than the force predicted by the theory. Later, he learned that Russian scientists were making experiments in which pistons were being pulled out of cylinders, accelerated by explosives, inexplicably creating fields with a magnetic field strength of millions of Oersteds.

It has been a journey going from J.L.Borges’ “The Garden of Bifurcating Paths” to Everett’s Many-worlds Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics, from the collective behavior of sardine scholls and J. Cortazar’s eels in “Prose from the Observatory” to Bose-Einstein condensates. From the relativity demonstrated by the twins paradox thought experiment to the non-locality uncovered by the EPR (Einstein, Podolsky, Rosen) experiment. After thoroughly studying the physics of Nature, Laurent is convinced that the Aether is the physical but immaterial substance from which the universe emerged.
